External mic on iPod Touch

I want to use an external mic on my iPod Touch instead of using one integrated with earphones.
How do I do that? Which adapter do I need or what kind of plug does the mic need?

I use a small mic from Griffin now which enables me to record.

  • Please help : external mic for ipod touch 4G?

    hye,
    so I'm not an audio professional, just a student wanting to quality-record lectures.
    I understood 4G ipod touch only accepts mono recordings, which is fine with me (it's just for voice...).
    Now, what external microphones are compatible with my ipod touch (running iOS 5.0.1.) for improving audio recording?
    Would adding adding a deadcat fuzzy be helpful (maybe it'll reduce the recording's size?).
    Thanks for any help on this!

    - See if this program will place it in recovery mode since that erases the iPod and bypasses the passocode.

    - Next try letting the battery fully drain. The try again.

  • Recommend an external mic for iPod touch 4g

    I bought a Mikey which I now learn is not compatible with the 4th gen touch. Any suggestions? I couldn't find anything that resembles the Mikey, which is what I would prefer, as opposed to a more conventional shaped microphone.
    Thanks!

  • Connecting external keyboard to iPod touch

    Hi,
    Is it possible to connect external keyboard to iPod touch. I saw a article in net which says that we can connect external keyboard to iPod touch with Jailbreaking, which I don't want. Is there any other way to do that?.
    Regards, Arun

    You got a point there, jailbreaking might solve a lot of things like attaching an external keyboard to the iPod touch by installing a application in Cyria store which bring support for Bluetooth keyboard. But is not a very safe choice to do that. Since it clearly voids your warranty on the device and youifht have some problems with software issues causing to malfunction of the iPod touch.

    Well, right now is not possible to connect an external keyboard to your iPod touch because of some software limitations imposed by apple. There are rumors that since the ipad has the ability to use an external keyboard via Bluetooth that it might come to the smaller screen devices like the iPod touch. Some say via an software OS update, but let's see if it's true.
    As of today, the only real solution as to connecting a physical keyboard on the device is by a product that was released last year by Mobile Mechatronics. It’s called iTwinge – a lightweight keyboard sleeve that attaches to the bottom of the device. I will provide a link to the manufacturer website below, click on the link.

  • External Microphone and Ipod Touch 8GB

    I am interested in purchasing a (3rd Generation-whatever is the newest) Ipod Touch. Because I only have about 10GB of music total and limited finances, I only need an 8GB.
    I am working for a small newspaper and hoping that I could use the Touch to record interviews.
    My questions regarding this endeavor are:
    Is the Touch compatible with a cheap external 1/8 jack mic? I don't need the best quality mic or anything. Just one that the Touch recognizes and captures voices coherently.
    How much time can the Touch record for? This would probably depend on how much other media is on the iPod.
    Does the Touch stay active while recording? Would it go to "sleep?"
    I also assume that the file would be saved an mp3 file and I could play it back in iTunes.
    Thanks so much!

    The connections inside the 1/8" mini-jack socket are NOT the same as a normal mic. It takes a 4-pole plug, with the mic on poles 3 and 4.
    You can get plug-in mics, like this:
    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Mini-Microphone-Mic-Recorder-for-Apple-iPod-iPhone-3G_W0QQ itemZ280413087186
    An app. like Griffin iTalk Recorder gives you more options than the built-in Voice Memos app. It records to aiff (not MP3) files in good, better or best quality (11kHz, 22kHz, 44kHz respectively). You can play them in iTunes or Quicktime Player.
    It only records in mono, and to get any sort of decent recording with that mic (no cable), you MUST stick the iPod+mic. near the speaker's mouth - but I guess as a reporter, you know that!!

  • External speaker on ipod touch

    Does the ipod touch have an external speaker on it so you don't always have to use headphones?

    The +iPod touch+ has a transducer so can make simple sounds, such as Alarms and for calendar events.

  • External Charger for iPod touch?

    Hi. I got a doubt. Did my old external charger (it works perfectly with my old iPod Photo) works with the new iPod Touch? I'll apreciate any answer. I didn't know if plug it or not. The charger has the same voltage (5V), so I suppose that it gona work just fine.

    any ipod charger should work fine. if you are talking about the one that came with the ipod photo, yes that should work.

  • Home Screen and mic on iPod touch 2G

    My little brother has an iPod touch 2G and he wants to have home screen backgrounds on it, as well as multitasking. His iPod doesnt support these featurees in iOS 4, and  I heard somewhere that if you insert a strand of code into the 'SpringBoard' file on the iPod, (I have Windows XP) that you can set homescreen backgrounds.
    Another thing is that we have tried many different headsets and mics on his iPod, but none have worked. Also, when you plug any kind of headset/headphone in, the sound still plays through the speaker as well as the headphones. He most importantly wants a mic for some VoIP apps he has.
    -Please help,  thanks.

    - The first question can't be discussed here.  It violates the lience that you agreed to with Apple.
    - The problem with the mics/headphones is likely due to a problem with the jack in the iPod.  Try to following to eliminate a softer problem:
    - Reset, Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore the iPod from backup
    - Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.
    If you still have the probem it is likely do to a jack hardware problem.

  • Mic for iPod touch

    Does anybody know if there's a mic compatible with the iPod touch 2G, other than the one Apple is making? (Here's a link to apple's earbuds/mic: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB770G/A?fnode=MTY1NDA0Ng&mco=MjE0NDgxMg&p=1&s =topSellers#overview)

    The Griffin SmartTalk headphone adapter works well for voice notes and there is also a recording app by Griffin. It also allws me to voice chat with MSN or Skype using the Fring app.

  • HT3648 I have an iPod touch 3rd generation. I would like to test it with talk to text for my deaf mother. I have downloaded the dragon program but I need an external microphone. Can you help?

    Hello,
    I think my iPod touch is a 3rd generation. It is a 4.2.1 Version, 8 GB.
    My 89 year old mother has totally lost her hearing. I would like to experiment with my ipod touch to see if an ipod is what she could use in her assisted living arrangement.
    My ipod does not have an internal microphone as far as I can tell.
    I see on the internet that I can purchase an external microphone.
    I do not want a headset microphone just an external microphone where someone could speak into when the dragon app is on and it will transfer talk to text for her to read.
    Can someone help me: a) do you think this will work.
    b) what do I have to do to make it work.
    Thank you.
    Yours truly,

  • IPod Touch G1 Mic

    Hello!
    Is there any way to connect a mic to iPod Touch G1 (3.1.3)? If yes, could you recommend any?
    Thanks
    P.S. I know G1 is old :P

    I did that, and I did find a few who might work, but they were only confirmed to work with FW 2.2 (at the same time not working with 2.1, for example). As Im running 3.1.3 I wanted to make sure.
    P.S. Would this work - http://touchmic.com/products-page/iphone--ipod-touch-microphones--lapel-mics/hea dphone--mic-y-adapter-in-one-cable/ ?

  • How to use ipod touch as a voice recorder?

    Ipod does not have a built in microphone.
    Does the Apple Store carry an external mice suitable?
    I downloaded the iTalk application as well, but it seems an external mike may be the answer
    397bluerock

    Yes you can use an external mic.  Some are in the Apple store.  You can also Google mic for iPod touch. The 3G and 2G iPod came with a combination earphone/mic since those iPod did not come with a intrnal mic.  I do not know if the 1G cam with the combination earphone/mic.

  • Does iPod Touch 2G work with Belkin's TuneSync (F5U255) ?

    Hello. I have a question about iPod Touch and its 3rd party docking accessory called Belkin's TuneSync.
    This product which was released a couple of years ago, provides 5 USB ports HUB and iPod docking station.
    OFFICIALLY, it supports up to iPod 5G, also known as video iPod, but a substantial number of people confirmed that it works fine with iPod classic, iPod nano, iPod touch 1G, and also the first iPhone.
    On the other hand, some people reported that it doesn't work well with iPod touch 2G and the latest iPhone, 3G.
    I was confused because I've seen some people's reports which show they are using this docking station with their iPod touch 2G.
    Although a guy claims that Apple has changes iPod's charging and syncing mechanism since 2008 September when iPod touch 2G and nano 4G were released so it can be hard to sync them with former generation of accessories, nothing is sure for me.
    Is anyone using this docking station with iPod touch 2G?
    Message was edited by: Netimoon

    I'm answering my own question.
    It partly works. Syncing and charging are perfect but audio line out doesn't work.
    I'm OK with that because I don't think I am gonna use that port but if you are one of them who want to attach a pair of external speakers for iPod touch 2nd gen, you should re-consider the purchase.
